You are the man sir! this thread helped so much. I read it when it was just a baby before all 39 pages and it convinced me it was safe to overclock. I can run the 1.25ulv kernels (im a lucky duck) but they heated up just a little too quick for me, and the 1.2 ulv is by far the most stable i have found. Thanks!
While im here, let me ask, are the recommended advanced settings still
30,000
50
0
0
and i might as well toss my profiles in here
screen off 250-400
cpu temp over 55 250-550
temp over 55 250-550
charging/full 250-1200
battery under 20 250-400
battery under 30 250-550
battery under 40 250-800
hows all this look?
Id suggest setting your battery < values up by 1 degree. The phone status goes by 10's, so the below 40 percent clock wont start until your battery shows 30 percent. and by the time you get to your 20 percent setting...it wont clock down even more until your phone says...plug into charger.
Set them for 41,31, and 21 percent.

Good catch! I totally missed that. On the Droid 1 that is essential.

I havnt tested it but to me it seems like the phone only TELLS us in ten percent intervals. I am sure with all the wonderful things the droid can do that it knows its own charge more than what it tells us.

well, I have been trying to read up on this...there is a LOT of info. You have done a lot of work...and it has helped thousands of people Im sure. Pretty cool when you think of it that way! I know it has helped me..and I am thankful for it.
Im curious about the advanced settings for myself.
I am using chevy ss4.7 and chevy mv 1.o ghz kernel (my phone doesnt seem to like LV kernels for some reason). I set profiles very similar to the above post, but Im curious as to the autodetect speeds in the device selections on set cpu.
Right now my advanced settings are 30000,50,0,0...and Im wondering if that is an optimal setting. I believe when I did autodetect...it recommended 32000,93,0,0.
Have you found an advance setting that has proven to be more effective than another?

I said the same exact thing when I was delving deep into the Droid 1s inner workings. "It can't be that hard for it to do 1% detection". Boy did I end up being wrong. And here is the "why":
The Droid 1 can detect the mV (micro Volt) of the battery in real time. The issue is the accuracy of reading it in real time. The first 20% (from 100% down to 80%) and then the last 20% both show sever "Rubber Banding" in the data readings. This equates to the reading showing one voltage level one second and a higher voltage reading the next second because the work load on the phone has been reduced. Which means you could read 3.758 mV while the screen is on and using GPS but as soon as you stop GPS and browse a web page it could suddenly read 3.792 mV. Simply put the battery load was reduced so it can snap back to a static level. The other way to detect a batteries charge is asking it directly "What is your percentage" and unfortunately the battery we use only responds with 10% measurements until it reaches 15% charge. Why they made it that way? No clue. But it is what we have to live with.
I have a newbie question. I tried P3 LV kernel and Chevy ULV kernel. For both kernels, my phone overheats (CPU over 50C and battery over 45C) once I OC to 900MHz. So, is 800MHz the limit of my phone? If I use MV or SV kernel, will they help the overheating issue? Thanks.
BTW, the overheating always happens when I'm using Dolphin HD to surf the web. Why is that?
OK. The heat is being generated by the 3G antenna. If you are surfing heavily and all over the place pulling down full sites then the phone will get warm. 50c is not by any stretch overheating at all. I have my Droid set to clock down when the CPU hits 52c. I regularly operate at 47c - 50c when using the phone heavily and have been since day one. Nothing new and nothing to really worry too much about. The one thing you will notice though is that your battery life will be woefully shorter than normal the longer the phone is "warm".

Thanks for the explanation. I feel better now. But what about the kernel with different voltage? Will they help the temperature profile, or just for battery life?
